What is Grace Center?
Grace Center for Community Life is a Minnesota nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Its vision is to provide a community center of empowering and life-giving activities focused on Faith, Learning, and Service.
Grace Center is also the name of the building that the nonprofit organization owns and manages, located at 1500 6th St. NE, Minneapolis MN 55413. Space in the 60,000-square-foot building is rented to New City School (a K-8 public charter school) and to Grace Lutheran Church of Northeast Minneapolis, which sponsors the Little Kitchen Food Shelf. Community groups use the gym for soccer and basketball evenings and on weekends. Other spaces are used by performing-arts groups for rehearsals, AA meetings, a Girls on the Run fitness program, a quilting & crafts group, and community groups for meetings.
